These were the scenes outside hot and sunny Belfast City Hall earlier today as quite a few Mumsnetters joined thousands of other people in stopping the traffic for Noah Donohoe.

It is, @Myshitisreal and symbolic too. Noah is a bridge because, despite what some people would have you believe, he has brought the good people of all communities together. The bad people won't be allowed to forget his name. 💙

It is now 113 weeks since Noah disappeared. There have been some misrepresentations by some newspapers of some tweets from Fiona. To be clear, Fiona believes that somebody harmed Noah, as does Niamh. The fact is that, when Noah first disappeared and for over two years since his body was found, the police (PSNI) investigation has been nothing short of incompetent. Fiona wants only the truth. She wants only the facts. She wants only justice for Noah. The police should be providing her, Niamh, and the concerned public, with the facts. If there was genuinely 'no foul play' as the police insist, then they must prove it beyond all reasonable doubt - because they have not done that. There are many questions and pieces of information which throw grave doubt on the police narrative. Fiona, Niamh and their legal team should not be the ones having to investigate to find the truth. The police application for and the signing by the NI Secretary of the PII certificate for secrecy in the death of an innocent child has been the single greatest cause of speculation and concern about what happened to Noah. A small minority of people seek to use Noah's disappearance and death to cause division along sectarian lines however. This is completely unacceptable. Please do not just repeat speculation you have picked up, however well-intentioned. If you personally have any factual information with a direct source - not speculation you have just picked up, for example online - about Noah's disappearance and death, please contact the family legal team in complete confidence at KRW Law, Human Rights Lawyers. Otherwise, please continue to educate people about Noah's story and do all you can to support and help his mother and auntie. Thank you. 💙

From Niamh Donohoe:
'I feel the need to clarify a few things. Noah's campaign for justice is something that was born from a tragic loss of a child who was loved, adored & cherished beyond words by his Mummy Fiona, by me his Aunt & all his cousins etc. Noah's campaign for Truth & Justice does not have a large team of PR gurus behind it, it doesn't have a team of marketing & media people. It has Fiona & myself, 2 mothers, 2 aunts, 2 sisters💙 that are desperately seeking answers to what happened our beautiful Noah. When it comes to making decisions regarding Noah's campaign we make them over random phone calls or usually in the car on the way to our solicitors. We trust our instincts & each other & do so because our intentions are good & honourable & we only seek to ever do what's right for Noah. We never intended on this path & had no choice in it, however, our babies (as are all yours) are precious & we will move mountains for them regardless of the detriment to us.
We are only human, two women & two sisters that are, if I'm honest -"winging it" most days, so we are grateful when people think we have it "together" lol🤷🏻‍♀️.
We are humbled & grateful for the constant support of a community & movement of people we lovingly refer to as "Noah's Army⚡". These people come from all walks of life, all cultures & races, all religions & backgrounds & we welcome everyone. We have said it a million times, Noah's Campaign for Truth & Justice is inclusive of all. If your team wants to support us✊ if your school wants to support us✊ if your family wants to support us✊. If you are proud to wear Noah's jersey amazing...if not, that's ok too💙,it was designed from a place of love. Every tiny detail was scrutinised & discussed again by Fiona & me. From the retro rugby stripes, to the Latin motto discreetly inside, to the placement of logos. Every element has a very specific reason - for Noah. Everything we do is for Noah & our babies...not to offend or cause division; there are enough people doing that. We are about solidarity & finding truth & justice.

We are grateful for Noah's Army always understanding & supporting.

#OneBoyOneVoiceOneArmy✊
#IncludeNotExclude💙'
